Legislation’s progress so far
It was during a mid-February press briefing that Gov. Andrew Cuomo first publicly voiced support of New York state deciding how much nursing homes can profit.
“If you’re a for-profit nursing home, I believe it should be mandated how much you put back into the facility and how much profit you can make,” he said.
Cuomo later included the proposed profit cap, also called a medical loss ratio, as an amendment to his 2021 budget proposal. It would mandate nursing homes put at least 70% of their revenue toward caring for residents.
Both the state Senate and Assembly have since passed their own separate versions of the profit cap over the last five weeks. The two sides will need to come to an agreement if the legislation will become law, but both their bills would also mandate at least 70% of revenue go toward care.

On Wednesday, Sheryl Swiger, a Baldwin County resident, was among the first people in the nation, and around the globe, to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
Swiger, a nurse and director of Infirmary s Center for Wound Healing, Wound and Ostomy and Outpatient Infusion Therapy Departments, called the moment “exciting.”
“As an older health care worker working around positive Covid patients, I feel very excited to get the vaccine on the first day Infirmary Health is offering it to their at-risk employees,” she wrote in an email to The Baldwin Times after the inoculation. “This gives me hope and an added measure of peace of mind. It allows me to continue working and supporting the fight.”
